My bluetooth headset died on me so I got a new headset for my mobile phone:
http://www.amazon.com/LG-SGEY0003602-Stereo-Headset/dp/B000UATPTC Works extremely well. The big advantage: it's two pieces (three, if you count the 2.5 mm jack to "cell phone" adapter). The headset piece is just a standard headset: 2 earbud speakers and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The second piece contains a 3.5 mm jack port, a microphone, a volume dial, a spring clip for attaching to your shirt or seatbelt, an audio mute button to answer calls, and a 2.5 mm jack to plug into the phone. What I really like about this unit is that I can replace the headset with any other headset/cable having a 3.5 mm jack, including iPod headphones[1], a really nice Bose headset[2], or an adapter cable[3]. I tried this out during a recent drive. I connected the second piece to the phone on one end and plugged the the other to the AUX jack of my car using the adapter cable. I then clipped the microphone to my seatbelt. I was able to hear the audio over my car's speakers and not have the headset in my ear: a mobile Polycom[4]. Makes me wonder if I could connect my phone to my PC and record conversations.
